Since 1994, Motorola (China) Electronics Ltd. (MCEL) has given substantial donations to Project Hope, created the Motorola Hope Schools, provided teaching equipment, trained school teachers and instigated the Motorola Hope Tour. We are proud to have accomplished the following through our donations and commitment to this important project:
· Provided financial assistance to over 9,000 children to help them complete their schooling.
· Constructed 40 primary schools in 25 provinces.
· Established six sample Web schools, which are multi-media classrooms designed to synchronize teaching with model schools in cities such as Beijing and Shanghai.
· Set up 25 multi-media language labs inside existing schools using standard low-frequency wireless teaching equipment.
· Established the Hope Library and Sanchen Movie Library inside 30 schools.
· Trained more than 500 Motorola Hope schoolteachers.
Motorola employees also support this effort through volunteer work and substantial personal donations. Over a thousand employees have volunteered in the "One on One" Assistance Bonding Programs in Beijing, Tianjin, and branch offices located throughout China, and with Motorola joint ventures in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Sichuan。
The Motorola Foundation in the U.S. has made generous donations to Project Hope and Motorola's chairman of the Board, retired, Robert W. Galvin, and chairman of the Board and chief executive officer, Christopher B. Galvin, attended donation ceremonies and presented gifts to the children when they visited China in 1997. On September 28, 2000, the Motorola Hope Tour delegation led by the executive director of the Motorola Foundation, visited the students and faculty of the Hope primary school in the Sichuan province. Also, chairman of MCEL, PY Lai, provided financial assistance to more than 100 children and encouraged MCEL employees to become Project Hope volunteers.
